Team alignment & transformation

Make a conscious choice to use positive reinforcement when you talk to your team and adjust your language to encourage and empower people to grow. How? Change the way you are communicating and change your questions and actions into positive ones. When someone suggests a good idea, use the "yes, and.." instead of "Yes, but.." or "No". I will provide positive feedback and encourage people to keep growing. Let's evaluate what you think you are currently doing. Select the option that aligns with your current state.

In this step, you are evaluating if you have the right environment to work effectively, be authentic and efficient. Teams that feel comfortable in their workspace tend to be more effective at work and companies can fully take advantage of their collective intelligence. For that reason, it is important, to be honest, and select those options that are aligned with how you are feeling. Tip: Make sure you have a discussion with your team about how you can provide an open, safe and transparent space to work.

Go to the "Open/Safe & Transparent Space" section and add ideas/suggestions to the board.

Information for the organization: Why is this important? Think about it! How can your organization learn, grow, and succeed if people in the organization are afraid to be themselves, voice their opinions, and genuinely show that they care about the brand and team? Make sure you provide enough time for everyone to think about it and add ideas and suggestions to the board.

What's your current emotional state? Write a short sentence about how you feel. Complete the sentence:" I feel...." For example: "I feel afraid to..., "I feel glad ..."

Let's think for a moment about what you want. Take a deep breath and evaluate and share what you truly want for yourself. Complete the sentence: "I want... because ... and I will need ... to accomplish it." For example, I want to learn to code because I think I will have more opportunities and my career is important. I will need to work from 7 am to 3 pm to go to the afternoon class.

How would someone in your team be able to observe that you are practicing and achieving your goal? What will be the best way to support you? What would you like to happen? Optional: Can you think of someone in the organization that you would like to help? Would you be able to help/support each other? Tip: Respond to this question once you know if someone else has a similar goal or after receiving suggestions on the board (next step)

Open the board and share with your team your current state and your personal wants. This is a safe space so the goals are to share how you feel, what you want to accomplish, and see if someone else in the team can help you.

Open the board and go to the team alignment section (blue section). Start following and answering each question by adding a sticky note and connecting your sticky notes to one of the goals. If you are not sure about your current company goals, move forward to the next section and add your current goals inside your department or team. You can also talk to your manager and team and work together/discuss this section. For example: My company wants to increase our customer lifetime and sell more products to the customer. The goal is to increase our CLT 50% more and sell them two more products. My team is helping to evaluate our different types of customers and their product preferences to help the advertising team create targeted campaigns reducing the customer acquisition cost (25%) I have 5 years of experience in research so I can help gather information and profile our personas.

From 1 to 10, how good is your alignment with your personal goals and your team's goals? What it's positive about these alignments? What else could you do to make it perfect(10)?

Sometimes achieving your goals is not that easy and almost impossible alone. Use our Help section as a HELP BOX and ask for help. Things you can add to the help box: What do you need? Who could help you? Duration Why is it important
